Technical issues

The Selva Viva is a boat concieved originally to be for multiple purposes and support as a priority development programs, from our organization or from others.

Due to its maintenance costs and its potential to generate funds, it serves also for ecotouristics or solidarity tourism activities.
It has been financed through the first phase of the « school-boat for biodiversity » program supported by Audemars-Piguet Foundation.
